Actor-turned-TMC MP Nusrat Jahan, who is currently shooting in London for a Bengali film, has sought protection from the Indian High Commission there after allegedly receiving death threats on social media. Reports said she has received threats for posting a video posing as 'Mahisasurmardini', an incarnation of Goddess Durga.
Jahan had on September 18 posted on her Instagram and Twitter accounts a picture of her 'Mahisasurmardini' video in which she is seen holding a trident, triggering vicious trolling by a section of netizens.
Informing the high commission that she will be in London till October 16, Jahan wrote, "During my stay in London I require an immediate police protection as the threat is very serious and it is affecting my mental health.
